A large tank (75 gallons or more) with a tight fitting hood with no possible escape points is a necessity.You will often hear others talking about how they hand feed their Snowflake Moray Eel. This is not a good idea since this animal has teeth and depending on the size of the animal, can inflict a serious wound. Use a feeding stick or Tank Tongs to place the fish food. They will accept most live and frozen foods.Avoid keeping the them in a tank with crustaceans and fish small enough to eat.
